The Industrial house is comprised of a bottom floor with lofted second floor and a bedroom on the roof level. It is structurally made up of HSS tubes connected by I-beams and has complete moment connections to resist lateral forces. HSS Tubes were chosen to complement the industrial nature of the building.

Agris house is comprised of a distinct longitudinal and linear outhouse fused to a rectilinear and diagonal dwelling. The building consists of three stories of living space and an in door swimming pool. It features a lateral system at its core which utilizes moment connections and resists torsion due to wind and seismic considerations.

This canopy spans a total of 28 feet with outriggers spaced 6 feet apart that cantilever 6 feet outwards. The cantilever is a T shape steel section which supports glass. These T sections are anchored by a HSS tube 16×16 which takes bending and torsion.

The Chapin School addition involves 6 added floors including a two story gymnasium on top. Lateral considerations were represented in the form of bracing systems and columns and shear walls on the lower floors were reinforced to accept more incoming load. Many of these columns became custom plated steel shapes or encased in concrete.

The Darma Music School located in Pennsylvania features a program that consists of two large music rooms with seamless glass frontal exposure, a large porch with benches, and a corridor waiting area. The structure consists of composite concrete and steel structures and features a moment connection lateral system. This school serves as a design study in both architectural rendering, architectural modeling, and structural analysis.

The Con Edison Signage project involves the design of several signs of varying size anchored by concrete shoes or possibly embedded in the ground. Wind load considerations were controlling and the posts supporting the signs were divided into three sizes. Frustum cone reinforced anchors were used in correlation with a schedule contingent on various loading criteria.
